    Kids Came First!

    3 Hr – Kids Fish/Dolphin Watch β€’ 5 adults β€’ 3 children

    I love that this fishing trip was geared towards the kids! Or kiddos are young (7,4, & 2) but love to fish. The captian and his wife were all about the kids from the get go. Each kid was given their own pole. The second one got a bite they were on it to help them reel it in, get it off the line, and hand the fish over so the kids could pose for a picture with the fish they caught. We really appreciated the opportunity for the kids and will definitely cherish the memories! If you're on the fence, just do it! Even dad caught several and wa able to have a good time.

    Memories for a lifetime!

    2 Hour Trip – Family/Kids (copy) - 5:15 PM β€’ 3 adults β€’ 1 child

    Captain Roy put us on the fish! We had the best time and caught over a dozen fish (at least)! Very attentive, patient, and kind captain and we were lucky enough to meet his sweet wife. Cutest couple and the perfect guides for our very first family fishing trip in Orange Beach!! They told some great stories, the boat was spotless, and Captain Roy was an excellent driver! Can’t wait to go again!

    Perfect experience for kids!

    2 Hour Trip – Family/Kids (copy) - 2:00 PM β€’ 4 adults β€’ 2 children

    What a great introductory experience for young fisherman. Our 8 and 11 year old had a fantastic time. We all caught fish, which was a great bonus. The captain was really friendly and patient. We opted for 2 hours, since it was our first time fishing on the ocean, but defintely could’ve enjoyed more time. That said, we definitely made the most of the time. Highly recommend!

    Great experience with Captain Donald. The kids love it. They was able to catch some nice size fish. Captain Donald definitely knew where the spots was at for them to catch some fish. He was warm welcome to kiddos . They are already ready to rebook another trip. I highly recommend Captain Donald πŸ’―

    great fishing trip/boat captain

    We had a great trip and all of us caught fish. Donald was great with thr kids and helped them if needed, if the bite was slow we moved to a different spot. Donald was great to have casual conversation with on a number of topics. i recommend to all to book this trip as part if your vacation.
